I won stuff from Blue Moon!

I
always try to answer the questions in the competitions in Miniature
Wargames, they are usually rather hard, and I always learn something. If I know all the answers and feel the prize is something I
would like, then I usually send in my answers.

Did
so in issue 365, and I got a mail a while ago from Henry Hyde the editor
of the magazine, congratulating me to my amazing intellect (or rather, my luck
in the draw, as there were quite a few contestants who had gotten it right).

I’ve
had my eyes on Blue Moon for several years, so this prize really suited me. Of
the stuff Old Glory had available I found the “Things that go bump in the night”
28mm series, with the “I just don’t feel my age” box, something suitably pulp
for me. A great way of feeling out Blue Moon. (There are also a lot of 15mm Blue
Moon figs at Old Glory, if that is your thing).

My rating system

5 - A masterpiece. You have to read/see/visit.4 - Really good. Strongly recommended it if it is a subject of interest, and probably worth reading/seeing/visiting if not.3 – It’s OK. If it’s a subject you’re interested in, it’s probably worth reading/seeing/visiting. Otherwise you can probably skip it.2 - Well, not really... If it’s your subject you could possibly find something in it worth your while. Otherwise stay clear.1 - Stay clear. This is a waste of your time.
